It has only just occurred to me that the fact that Harry ultimately proved unable to forgive Quirrell for casting Avada Kedavra is kind of brilliant.
Say more?
"Unforgivable curse". Or maybe TheOtherDave meant something else?
Nope, that's what I meant.
But did EY do it on purpose?
I've wondered that.
His reply to my original comment would in most contexts suggest not, but doesn't strictly imply it, and I don't have a good enough model of him to feel confident one way or the other.
And... great googly moogly! What on Earth is that comment doing with 14 upvotes? I mean, don't get me wrong, I get just as much of a warm glow of social approval from high karma numbers as the next guy (and am somewhat embarrassed by how much I'm anticipating ticking over into four digits) but... seriously?
I don't think he did, but I second your uncertainty.
LOL.
Eh, it was clever. And people are in a happy mood talking about MoR. I just hit three digits, and I was anticipating it for a while too. </karma junkie>
I figured MoR was just the most popular subject to read and upvote posts about, but there could be other factors.
And this is just one reason why this was moved to the Discussion section of the site.
